No, you are not correct. The MathLink API has had very few incompatible changes between version 2.2 and 3.0. The biggest differences that come to mind are that: o MLOpen() has been deprecated in favor or MLOpenArgv() and MLOpenString(). o LinkOpen[] with LinkMode options has been deprecated in favor of LinkCreate[], LinkConnect[], and LinkLaunch[]. o There is support for the transfer of 16-bit (Unicode) character arrays over a link. o Under Windows, the Local protocol is no longer used for same-machine communication. A new protocol -- Filemap -- is now used. -- P.J.
